520			_aThere can be little doubt about the importance of National Health Service (NHS) workforce planning - especially staff demand and supply - not least because health and social services employ one in ten people from the UK working population and staff costs account for two-thirds of NHS expenditure (Kendall and Lissauer 2003). Although these data relate to the whole NHS, this book focuses on the primary and communitycare workforce planning and development. Primary care and community care are defined in many ways. Their main distinguishing features are the setting in which care is given and the professionals who provide the service. Primary care is the first-contact, continuous and coordinated care of individuals. Community care, on the other hand, is linked to a much wider social network. Primary and community care, therefore, are not synonymous with general practice, but they do subsume it (Mackenzie and Ross 1997). Consequently, primary care and community care are distinguished in this book because the service context influences workforce planning and development.
